2006 vintage harvested
The Pinot Noir was hand picked just before Easter and is now safely in the hands of the winemaker.
The crop was down slightly but the quality is excellent and it should produce another full-bodied and fruit-driven Pinot Noir.
As if to celebrate the end of harvest a wedge tail eagle hovered over the vineyard — a rare sight here.
In the vineyard the leaves have their autumn colours with lovely shades of red, yellows and brown — it is really a lovely time of year.
It is also time to fertilise the vines and build them up for the winter. Even Sophie the vineyard cat appreciates the change of seasons!
